Refracting telescope: The angular magnification of a refracting telescope is 40 x. When the object and final image are both at infinity, the distance between the eyepiece and the objective is 143.5 cm. The telescope is used to view a distant radio tower. The real image of the tower, formed by the objective, is 6.0 mm in height. The focal point of the eyepiece is positioned at the real image. What is the focal length of the objective lens?

Lens-maker’s formula: A compound lens is made by joining the plane surfaces of two thin plano-convex lenses of different glasses. The radius of curvature of each convex surface is 80 cm. The indices of refraction of the two glasses are 1.50 and 1.60. What is the focal length of the compound lens?
